What is it? How can it help me?
Michigan State UniversityOffice for International Students and Scholars
Background InformationThe International Student Employment Assistance (ISEA)
program is a new financial aid program designed to help international students who demonstrate financial need to compete for better on-campus jobs.
The Office for International Students and Scholars will administer this new program.
What is it?Students who are American citizens or legal permanent
residents are eligible for “work-study” financial aid that is supported by the U.S. Government. Eligibility is based on a student demonstrating financial need.
Work-Study pays money, not to the students, but to the on-campus employers of the students. It makes it cost 50% less to hire a student, allowing more students to be hired for more jobs on-campus.
Here’s how it worked before ISEA.
Until now, U.S. students with Work-Study were more attractive to on-
campus employers because the employers only needed to pay about half the wage paid to the student worker.
Who pays the hourly wages for on-campus employment?
As a result, U.S. students with work-study awards had more opportunities for interesting, relevant on-campus jobs.
Here’s how it works with ISEA.International Students with ISEA will now be able to compete for
better on-campus jobs because the cost to the employers will be the
same as hiring U.S. students.
Who pays the hourly wages for on-campus employment?
If I want ISEA, what do I do?
